And sadly, it doesn’t come from us. But it does come from friends!
Our buddies Quiet Earth have laid their hands and feasted their eyes on the grimy greatness of Joe Penhall’s script for The Road. I don’t know these guys to exaggerate so when I read bits like this, I can’t help but get even more excited:
To be blunt, the script is a complete stunner. It is a devastating masterwork which, I’m glad to report, has been written with absolute devotion to the original novel. If this is the script that gets filmed, then The Road will not only be the most important post-apocalyptic film ever made but it will profoundly affect the cinema going world.
They’ve got more, much more, over there so be sure to head over and take a gander at the comments and read a few excerpts.
I didn’t bother finishing this book and don’t quite get the enthusiasm for it. I’m excited about John Hillcoat’s follow up to The Proposition.
